Without the authority of and adherence to Scripture, anything goes.

That's a good description of Protestantism and its offspring. For them, it isn't really about the authority of Scripture or the adherence to Scripture. It's about the authority of their interpretations of Scripture.

It's what the word of God says, according to MY interpretation, that matters.

That's really what it comes down to.

If Catholics can’t even quote another human being with integrity, there’s no way to trust them to interpret Scripture with integrity.

You have really hit the nail right on the thumb. Very apt commentary.
